Letter: Not man made

There seems to be but two sides to the current brouhaha on climate change or to be politically incorrect, global warming. One side denies it completely. The other side proclaims global warming is man made. I happen to belong to a third side: yes, there is global warming, but it is not man made.

This little rock we live on is 4.5 billion years old. It has gone through hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of climate changes. At one time the entire planet was encased in ice. It took a whole lot of warming to return it to livability. As near as 10,000 years ago we were in an ice age that geologists tell us carved out the Great Lakes. We are essentially still in the warming phase that made the ice age retreat.

Some time ago there was a commercial that facetiously told us: "Don't fool with Mother Nature." She will win every time. We have warming and cooling, volcanoes, earthquakes, storms and there is not a single thing measly man can do about it except live with it. As yet there is nowhere else to go. I kinda like it here, despite Al Gore.
